Rsearch 1.1.0

New features

• Added taxonomy_distance() for calculating pairwise taxonomic distances between OTUs from a taxonomy table.

• Added support for filtering taxonomy assignments by confidence scores through a new confidence argument in taxonomy_tree() and taxonomy_distance().

• Extended vs_cluster_unoise() and vs_cluster_size() with new arguments for controlling output from clustering output: clusters and uc. The uc argument was also added to vs_usearch_global().

• Added a verbose argument to functions that print progress messages or other information to the console.

• Updated vs_optimize_truncee_rate() and vs_optimize_truncqual() with an option to randomly sample 10,000 sequences when the input contains more than 10,000 sequences, thereby reducing computation time.

Documentation

• Updated function documentation and package website to describe the new taxonomy-distance functionality, clustering output options, and other newly introduced arguments.

Tutorial

• Updated the tutorial to display the correct figure
